"Taco bell....I dont need no stinking whoopee cushion...." you might need some wet wipes if you are going for volume and distance

I said this very thing last weekend!!   Wasn't referring to the Taco Bell aftermath or wet wipes 
but I was thinking that if these birds could smell they would SOO much harder to kill.

A loud cutt from a box call will strike a gobble almost always in the evening. Don't use in the morning because the hens are quite. As far a coyote howler, coyotes eat turkeys. If they know coyotes are in the area they tend to shut up once on the ground out of the roost. An old turkey hunter told me this years ago.

first light last light head into the area. and try to get them to shock gobble. allot of people use owl,crow,or gobbler calls to get them to shock and all will work if they have not been messed with before. i do not tell what i use because it is my secret and i have never seen or heard of anyone doing it...

You ain't that guy I heard a few years back up at the head of Harvey Creek ablasting away on an Ooga Horn are you? First time he cut loose with that thing the whole woods went quiet except for me, I took cover thinkin a Model "T" was about to run me over.

I like to use my mouth call and make the sound of a rooster crowing. I think that certian pitches in sound make them gobble more readily, and the crowing has 4 different tones or pitches to it. Cup your hands when you blow it though because it is deafining! Also take a set of good binoculars with you and set on the opposite ridge and glass for the birds once you've located them in the morning. Just like deer or elk hunting you will be amazed how much easier it is to see them in the woods at a distance and be able to watch thier movements without disturbing them. When you do find them however you will need to mark a particular landmark that you can go to because everything looks different when you get to the other side. Trust me on that because over the years I've made all the mistakes.

To answer your original question, if I want to roost an area I might hike a mile back into the woods and wait until the light is right and then roost all the way back to the truck concentrating on vantage points.  Hopefully you will cut them.  It might take a few mornings or nights because the birds might not be in the area every time.  Birds also will get burned out on certain shock calls and quit answering them.   Got to switch it up.  Cover ground.  Better by foot then by car.

And the turkeys do move their roosts. A few years ago, I found a roost several hundred yards up a hill. On opening mourning, I park the car in the dark and get my stuff together only to find that the turkeys had moved the roost to a tree next to the road. The tree leaned right over where I parked the car. Needless to say, I woke them up and other cars went by to further make the birds wary.
They flew off the roost before shooting light and I never saw them again.
